15. Chapter XV
Fen Qiao's courtyard was built by the water, and Steward Shen pointed out to Fen Qiao across the verandah, "That's Jinrong Pavilion." ”
The courtyard is surrounded by pink walls and green willows, which is obviously exclusive to female dependents.
Go inside, there are several hanging flower gatehouses, and the verandah is copied on all sides. The roads in the courtyard are connected to each other, and there are mountains and rocks dotted. Steward Shen opened his mouth to introduce, "This courtyard was lived in before Baoping Gege left the pavilion in the previous dynasty, and you are its second owner, Miss." ”
Walking through the attic, the backyard is full of flowers and exquisite. It is also planted with clusters of roses, which bloom in the summer on the walls of velvet-like green and thick leaves, and look like a dazzling brocade from afar.
Sparkling and beautiful.
……
After Gu Yan finished talking, he came to call Fen Qiao. Fen Qiao was lying on the railing of the Jinrong Pavilion water pavilion to watch the koi.
"Fenqiao, it's time to go." Fen Qiao looked interesting, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Gu Yan, and immediately got down from the railing and ran to Gu Yan's side.
I ran too fast, the tip of my nose was dripping with beads of sweat, and I was busy opening my mouth when I couldn't breathe, and my eyes were shining, "Are we going back?" ”
Gu Zhai is beautiful, but there are many strangers, and Fen Qiao is very uncomfortable. She just wants to live with Gu Yan and Sister-in-law Zhang.
Gu Yan was helpless and replied, "Well, go back." He put the handkerchief directly on Fen Qiao's face, covering her big sparkling eyes, and said sternly: "Wipe your sweat yourself." ”
Fen Qiao was already accustomed to Gu Yanyan's tone, with a smile in his eyes, he took off the handkerchief and wiped it himself.
Steward Shen on the side was shocked, he had never seen Gu Yan talk to someone so relaxed. If it weren't for the wrong age, he would have suspected that Gu Yan and Fen Qiao were related.
Steward Shen personally sent Gu Yan to the door of the mansion and saluted again. Gu Yan said goodbye and took Fen Qiao into the car.
……
Gu Yan has been living in Kunlun Apartment on the north bank of the Liangma River in Chaoyang District, a top serviced apartment mansion with every inch of land. It overlooks the lush green corridor of the second embassy district and the urban green belt of Chaoyang Park.
The security system of the apartment is very strong, and the elevator enters the house. Gu Yan lives on the top floor, and he needs fingerprints to enter the elevator, and he needs to identify the veins on the back of his hand when he enters the door of the apartment. Gu Yan helped Fen Qiao enter the fingerprints and the information of the veins on the back of his hand one by one.
"Are you alright?" Fen Qiao withdrew the back of his hand from the door, but was grabbed by Gu Yan, "Wait a minute, I have to identify it again." ”
This time, the back of Fenqiao's hand was on the identification lock, and the green light on the door flashed, and the lock was opened. Fen Qiao pushed open the door and walked inside, but the more she walked, the slower her steps became.
She looked at Yiqiē in front of her in disbelief, the living room of Gu Yan's apartment was exactly the same as Fen Qiao's living room in Dian City's hometown from design to furnishings, and even the pink porcelain hand-painted vase on the coffee table was not the same.
"Gu Yan..."Fen Qiao came back to his senses for a while and muttered.
"What?" Gu Yan was in a good mood.
"Is my dad really that good on your terms?" He looked at him with wide eyes, as if he wanted to get an answer from Gu Yan's expression.
Gu Yan smiled, "When I was in Dian City, didn't you go on a hunger strike and threaten me to let me move my house to the imperial capital?" ”
"Not really!" Fen Qiao hurriedly retorted, "I didn't mean that... I, I'm not trying to threaten..."
"Just once." Gu Yan interrupted her.
What the? Fen Qiao was stunned.
"Fen Qiao, the hunger strike is only for this time." Gu Yan's expression was stern, and he was not joking. "Do you see the electronic scale at the door? Put there to remind you. ”
"Your current weight is seventy-two pounds, from now on, to maintain this weight, you can only go up, not down. If you don't, I'll change the apartment back to its original appearance right away. ”
The corners of Fen Qiao's mouth tightened, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"Gu Yan..."Fen Qiao's eyes lit up amazingly, "You are a good person." ”
Good? Gu Yan didn't think so. But in the minds of children, he still has to set a correct example, so he just rubbed Fen Qiao's hair and said, "I know, it's getting late, go and rest." ”
The layout of Fen Qiao's room was similar to the layout of Dian City before, except that the tall stack of exercise books on the desk had been replaced by piles of music CDs.
The cloakroom has also been added with a lot of new clothes, which belong to Fen Qiao's yard. Most of the colors of the clothes are fresh and pink, and I don't know who picked them. In the past, when Gao Ling was there, the new products of major girl brands every season were also booked in her cloakroom.
How can a girl not like new clothes, even if there are too many clothes to wear, but they always feel that there is one less piece in the wardrobe. In the past, Fen Qiao not only inherited Gao Ling's appearance, but also stinky beauty, and he had to dress perfectly every time before he was willing to go out. A mud spot on your shoes will make you feel uncomfortable, so be sure to find a place where no one is there to wipe it off.
Recalling these, Fen Qiao suddenly realized that those things seemed to be very far away from her.
After her father's death, Gao Ling rarely added anything to her cloakroom.
She lives a messy life every day, and she doesn't even know what she has done every day. It's like suddenly losing interest in a qiē. She no longer pays attention to appearances, is immersed in her own world, and pities herself.
Her fingertips slid over the rows of dresses, and on a whim, she grabbed one out at random.
It was a white and light blue patchwork dress, refreshing and elegant.
The hem of the skirt is an irregular arc, and the drape makes the whole skirt very exquisite, revealing the girl's white and slender calves.
In the middle of the wardrobe was the floor-to-ceiling mirror, and Fen Qiao couldn't help but reach out and wipe the mirror, she couldn't remember how long it had been the first time she had looked at herself so seriously.
The girl in the mirror is very thin, even if the skirt is a slim style, wearing it on her, the waist is still a little loose.
Waist-length long black hair with no bangs, revealing a delicate beauty tip.
Her face was much thinner than it was a year ago, and she remembered that she still had baby fat on her face back then, but now she had a pointed chin.
The eyebrows are faint, the shape is not trimmed, but the shape is very beautiful. The delicate peach blossom eyes are very large, the pupils are dreamy, the tails of the eyes are slightly curved, and the lying silkworm is extremely beautiful, Fen Qiao knows that she is the most beautiful when she laughs.
There is still a little childishness between the eyebrows, but the facial features have gradually begun to grow.
Fen Qiao wore a skirt to take a bath, and after washing, he changed into a skirt and went to sleep.
All night, Fen Qiao's mood was very happy for some reason. It's like a big stone that has been pressing on your chest and suddenly someone lifts a crack, and you suddenly feel able to breathe and relax.
The fact that she had been tossing and turning in bed but never falling asleep was completely gone, and she fell into a deep sleep almost as soon as she collapsed on the bed.
……
was on vacation, but Gu Yan, who had returned to the imperial capital, seemed to be busier. When Fen Qiao got up, he had already gone out, and Fen Qiao slept for a long time before he came home, and sometimes he didn't see anyone for several days.
Fen Qiao vaguely knew that Gu Yan might be going through an important turning point in her life, Gu Yan helped her a lot, but she couldn't help anything.
This morning, Fen Qiao got up early, the genius outside the apartment was bright, I thought it was early enough, who knew that Gu Yan had already eaten breakfast and sat in the living room watching the financial channel, if she was late, she might miss it.
"Fen Qiao, children don't have to get up so early on vacation." Gu Yan put down the teacup, called the extension, and notified the maid to come and cook Fen Qiao's breakfast.
"Gu Yan, will you be so busy all the time?" Fen Qiao's voice was a little small, but Gu Yan could rarely hear it clearly. He knew what Fen Qiao's illness needed most, and Fen Qiao was now becoming dependent on him, but he didn't have enough time to spend with Fen Qiao.
His voice couldn't help but soften a little, "No, it won't be a long time." ”
Hearing the answer, the corners of Fen Qiao's lips unconsciously hooked a little.
Even Gu Yan cut her an apple that she hated the most, and swallowed it in small bites. Fenqiao's oral structure is a little strange, and every time he eats an apple, he will be stimulated by malic acid to grow small blisters.
This time, Fen Qiao felt the small bubbles on his tongue with the roof of his mouth, but he didn't feel any pain at all.
……
The maid brought breakfast, and Fen Qiao sat at the dining table to prepare for the meal, but found that Gu Yan still hadn't prepared for the door, and the wall clock on the wall was almost seven o'clock.
"Gu Yan didn't go to the company today?"
"Well," the financial channel has ended, Gu Yan turned off the TV, "There is a party in the family today, and when you finish breakfast, we will go together." ”
Gu Yan could accompany her all day, Fen Qiao's mood jumped, and even the speed of eating was much faster than usual.
Fen Qiao's anorexia is picky and eats all the vegetables, meat, and rice, and the difference is only that: don't eat it! Don't want to eat! I don't like to eat! Absolutely do not eat and beat to death and do not eat! There are people who like dessert and lemonade, but those can't be eaten as a meal after all.
From Fen Qiao to the house, Gu Yan can be regarded as getting a hundred ways to coax children to eat. Coercion and temptation go hand in hand, and the stick and sweet dates go hand in hand.
However, he consciously finished eating this morning, and Gu Yan suddenly felt an indescribable sense of pride.
……
The place of the meeting was the old house of the Gu family where Fen Qiao had been.
Compared with the day Fen Qiao came, the house was much more lively.
Old man Gu was old and was recuperating in the attic, so he handed over the work of hosting to Gu Yan, but he did not attend.
Fen Qiao followed Gu Yan to appear at the door of the main hall, and then there was silence for a moment, and then several people came up to greet Gu Yan. There were also many people who cast their eyes on Fen Qiao behind Gu Yan.
Gu Yan has been back to the emperor for less than half a month, and the fact that he adopted a child is already known to everyone. Some people were incredulous, and more people thought that the adopted child and Gu Yan must be related by blood, but no one thought that Fen Qiao was so old.
There are also people who heard the news that Old Man Gu left something for Fen Qiao in his will, and it was a little more complicated when he looked at Fen Qiao's eyes.
The gazes of everyone made Fen Qiao a little uncomfortable.
She is very sensitive to the strange gaze of others, and for a long time in the past, she was at the center of everyone's strange gaze and conversation.
She's fed up with this scrutiny!
Fen Qiao was depressed in his heart, but he tried his best to endure it, and his face was not revealed.
After the shock, several female relatives also came forward to greet Fen Qiao. Fen Qiao's face was not obvious, and he replied patiently without a word, and he was already extremely irritable in his heart.
She kept looking back at the direction of Gu Yan in the crowd frequently.
